Rovanperä and Toyota already in action with Monte Carlo in their sights

No time to lose for Toyota and Kalle Rovanperä. Less than a month after Dévoluy, the Japanese manufacturer and its double Finnish world champion set up their base camp in the Hautes-Alpes this Tuesday.

The opportunity for them to carry out their first preparatory outing of this year in view of the 2025 season and especially the Rally Monte Carlo (January 23-26). In addition to Rally1 without the hybrid system, Kalle Rovanperä, back on a full program, was able to work once again on the new Hankook tires which are taking over after the departure of Pirelli.

On site, the Toyota driver was able to practice on a stretch of asphalt that was both snowy and icy. Some spectators took the opportunity to approach the roadside to admire Kalle Rovanperä's driving skills. The other drivers of the Japanese brand are also expected in the coming days.
